Study: Abortion Has More Negative Parenting Impact Than Other Pregnancy Loss -

A new review of studies examining various types of prenatal loss and the effects on subsequent parenting has concluded that abortion may be "particularly damaging to the parenting process." The article, published in Current Women's Health Reviews, looked at already published studies on miscarriage, induced abortion and adoption.

Well duh. If someone gets a cat and rather than take the time to find it a home if it’s unwanted and just cracks the little neck and tosses it in the trash... odds are they won’t be as attached to the next little disposable cat they come across owning.

Forgive me but isn't abortion the end of the "parenting process"?

But now that I have written this post, I am recalling my memory of most people who are rabidly pro-abortion are members of PETA.

Is it a self hatred thing?

No, it’s a God Hatred thing.

And most women who are rabidly pro-abortion, tend to be women who don't have to worry about an unplanned pregnancy, if you know what I mean.

Sorry. I know plenty of non-lesbian, non-ugly women who believe in no limits on abortion.

The point of the article is that woman measured by this study who had an abortion at some point before having and keeping a child are more likely to have a higher rate of problems parenting the child they do keep.

And my point was there is no parenting after you override the inhibition against infanticide. Any subsequent childs life has decreased value.

While we in the pro-life community know that, there is no use preaching to the choir. The usefulness of a study like this is to confirm what we know to those who have an anti-religious bias inhibiting their understanding of the down side of having an abortion.
